The hotel was perfect for our needs! We stayed here after hiking the Nakasendo Trail. Communication was great since before the check-in process, when i was inquiring about my luggage forwarding. My luggage was already in our room when we arrived. We stayed for only one night, but we slept very well and had a wonderful shower. The water is very hot, and with a strong pressure, amenities are provided in the room and even yukatas. The bed was firm. There was an additional blanket, which was great (but not needed, just personal preference). The heater in the room was very effective, and we stayed warm and cosy. Free small breakfast available (bread, butter, jam, yogurt, coffee and tea). It was just what we needed before heading to our next destination in Japan. Shiojiri is a great quick stop, and the hotels location is very convenient. There are many great izakayas and restaurants nearby, too! I'd definitely recommend it.

everything was perfect

The location is just across the JR Shiojiri Station. Makes for a good base as it is easy to visit the neighboring towns via train. The staff were helpful and allowed me to leave my bag while my room was being prepared (I arrived early). They also brought it up it up to my room once done. They also try to provide English translations to their rules and regulations. Room was comfortable for its size (I was backpacking so I did not have luggage to spread. Room size would be cramped, otherwise). This hotel is also like a time capsule but kept very clean. It was pretty good for a night's stay. Breakfast was free and consisted of bread, yogurt, butter, select jams, tea, and coffee.

Rooms are ready from 4pm, but this is not a problem. I left my bag and rode the train to explore Lake Suwa.

Breakfast was coffee, toast and yoghurt which was perfect. Fantastic spot right across the road from the train station and only 25 minutes by local train to the feudal town of Narai. Really cheap accommodation with an ensuite and super clean. I will be back.

Nothing it was all good

This is a simple hotel great for one night. It was perfect after walking. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful despite limited English. A small breakfast of yoghurt, toast and coffee was included in the bargain price and started at 5.30am. It was opposite the station. .

All good.

Perfect location next to Shiojiri station, staff were very helpful using translation apps during checkin, very good value, good location to see things like Narai Juku and Haraide Ruins, breakfast included

Room was small, breakfast is basic (toast/scone-thing with butter or jam, yoghurt, coffee)

Love the location, just in front of JR Shiojiri station. Love the breakfast, though simple with 2 bread, yougurt and coffee for self service. Love the staff for their hospitality and help in forwarding our luggage. Can do laundry with dryer.

The clothes were still very damp after dryer of 30 mins. We were not allowed to use the washer and dryer after 10pm.

Located right across from the train station, from which is a short train ride to narai-juku. There is a simple free breakfast service with breads too.

The air conditioner is located right above the bed, its a bit unsightly, but thats all.

The staff are amazing, friendly and helpful! Will definitely stay again if in Shiojiri. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great. It is in an excellent location, close to the train station.

Hotel is next to the train station, the room was clean, the bed comfortable. The lady at the reception tried her best to explain everything to me even though she doesn't speak perfect English.

Literally across the road from Shiojiri station. Had laundry facilities and vending machines inside. Staff were lovely.

A bit of a walk to the main shopping area.
